Joined the protest inside Brixton NatWest organised by UK Uncut. Around 15 people, along with a sleeping bags and a tent, occupied the bank from 1:45 onwards (bank closed at 3pm). Just after 2pm the management closed it.
They really didn’t have close the bank as it was a peaceful protest and not bothering the staff or customers. Two cops lurked around in the bank with the security guards minding the doors. We weren’t kettled in there and could leave when we wanted. There were people outside, some filming us while we were in there. Overall it was a peaceful protest, putting our point across about the banking bailout.
